Things are back to normal in Beanbean Castle Town. The buildings have been repaired and people are wandering around outside. Some of them have quests for you. The elderly man in the southeast corner tells of the ancient Soybean civilization. He wants to find the treasures of the civilization, the Beanstones. There are 10 of them in the castle town. He wants the bros to find them, and mentions that the ancient Soybeans were rather short. This is a clue to help you find them: Mini Mario can sense when the Beanstones (and other things) are underground. He'll have an exclamation point over his head when something's buried underground. There are Beanstones to the left of the southwest house, one just south of the southern arch, one southeast of the north arch, one in front of the equipment shop, and one to the right of the northern arch. The other five are in the east part of the castle town. One is in the southwest corner, near the information shop, one on the rightmost of the southern ledges, one is just south of the stairs to the castle, one on the northeast ledge, and one on the left side of the northern house. He'll give you a Bros. Rock badge. A guy near the information shop is missing his five Beanlets, little, green, round pets. One is in the northeast corner, one on the roof of the northern house (High Jump from the side to reach the roof), and on the west side, one is on the roof of the southeast house, one on the roof of the southwest house, and one behind the northwest house. He'll give you a Golden Mushroom, which restores all HP and BP.
There are more things to do in Beanbean Fields. If you go to the west, you can go past a gate into a cave. It's a 2D area where you go to the right while avoiding Lil' Sparkies. The mole at the end will give you a Golden Mushroom. To the north in the same area is a gate that leads to the area's green pipe. There's a green pipe to the south, as well. In some areas, you'll see rings of flowers, or large beanpods surrounded by flowers. You'll find Bean Fruit buried underground. You'll need them later. There are 4 you can get now. To the northeast is another cave. Mini Mario can complete a platforming challenge with spikes and Lil' Sparkies. There are two moles in this cave. The first one you see gives you a 1-Up Mushroom. The one that you reach by going over the ceiling will give you the High End badge.
While on the east side of Beanbean Fields, you'll find Lakipea, a Lakitu that throws Sharpeas. You'll need to High Jump to battle them. You'll also come across Bob-ombs if you go to the beach on the east. Paratroopea, which are like Paratroopas are also here. They can heal themselves and allies. To the north are Tanoombas, which are Goombas that look like Tanookis.
When you have a decent stash of beans, return to the west side of the castle town. To the north is Starbeans Cafe. Here you can blend your beans into bean juice. There are seven blends to choose from: the Woohoo Blend, Hoohoo Blend, Chuckle Blend, Teehee Blend, Hoolumbian, Chuckoccino, and Teeheespresso. When you make a blend for the first time, something interesting happens. The cafe goes dark. A familiar tune stars playing. A ghost sneaks up on Luigi. E. Gadd walks in, with the Poltergust 3000. He's the owner of the cafe. He says the aroma of the drink drew out the ghosts here. He vacuums the ghost. The barista explains that Gadd invented the bean blending Beanbean machine. He'll ask to sample the drink, which spurs him to push his ghost research into a new dimension. He'll give you an item to help on the journey. He gives the items in the same order regardless of what you make. The first one is the Greed Wallet. The next is the Bonus Ring. When you blend your third new drink, Gadd appears on the Super Poltergeist 3001, which can be ridden. (It makes an appearance as the Poltergust 4000 in Mario Kart DS.) He'll give you the Excite Spring. After blending the fourth drink, Gadd appears on the Game Boy Horror and sends a friendly ghost representative to taste the drink. He'll give you the Great Force. Gadd will do another video conference on the Game Boy Horror after blending the fifth drink, despite his promises to appear in person. He uses the new warp function to warp the drink to him. He'll give you the Power Grip. After blending the sixth drink, Gadd appears in person, wearing a gown that lets him become a ghost. This freaks Luigi out, so he uses the Poltergust 3000 on him. Gadd gives the bros the Cobalt Necktie. When you blend all seven drinks, he'll give you the Game Boy Horror SP, which will make enemies drop special items after battle. He places a portrait of himself on the wall.
